epub library downloads

I am able to download epub books from the local library to my computer but can't move them to Itunes to sync with my ipad. Any suggestions? Also, why can't I just download them directly to my Ipad?

Most likely, your library is using adobe drm on them.
The iPad does not natively support this.

Ask your library what software you need or check if overdrive media console will work.

Overdrive Media Console doesn't help. My library uses acsm for downloadingso I had to download the Adobe Digital Reader just to get it to my computer. Still can't move them to Itunes book library.

If an eBook is drm free you can download/install it directly on you iPad, like this one;

Try this free ePub reader for the iPad, Bluefire Reader app.
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bluefire-reader/id394275498?mt=8&ls=1

It will read Adobe DRM encoded books from the public library.
